+- **The simplicity of Vue.js.** Incrementally build user interfaces with the familiar syntax of HTML and CSS in single file components.
+- **Seamless interop with React Native.** Use core React Native components with Vue.js syntax out of the box to develop mobile apps on both iOS and Android.

+To install Vue Native's official CLI, run
 ```
-$ npm install -g vue-native-cli
+$ npm install vue-native-cli -g
 ```
 
-Generate [CRNA + Vue App](https://github.com/GeekyAnts/vue-native-core)
+To use the CLI, you must have either [expo-cli](https://github.com/expo/expo-cli) or [react-native-cli](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli) installed globally.
+
+## Project setup with Vue Native CLI
 
+The Vue Native CLI can be used to easily generate a fully configured Vue Native app. It wraps `expo-cli` and `react-native-cli` to generate a simple single page application (SPA) after installing and configuring dependencies from [vue-native-core](https://github.com/GeekyAnts/vue-native-core).
+
+You should have either expo-cli or react-native-cli installed as a global dependency. Refer to the [installation guide](https://vue-native.io/docs/installation.html) for details on project setup. The GitHub repository for Vue Native CLI is hosted [here](https://github.com/GeekyAnts/vue-native-cli).
+
+With the CLI, generating a Vue Native project is as easy as running the command
 ```
 $ vue-native init <projectName>
 ```

-The above modules are set to be removed from future core react-native.

-[[Further Instructions](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2019/03/12/releasing-react-native-059#lean-core-is-underway)]
+It is possible to integrate Vue Native into a pre-existing React Native project. You can find instructions to do this [here](converting-react-native-project.md).
+
+These instructions can also be used to set up a Vue Native project from scratch.
+
+## React Native components that can't be used out of the box
+
+The following modules are set to be removed from React Native in the future.
+Hence these modules are no longer made available with Vue Native.
+- AlertIOS
+- AsyncStorage
+- ImageStore
+- ListView
+- MaskedViewIOS
+- NetInfo
+- Slider
+- SwipeableListView
+- ViewPagerAndroid
+- WebView
+
+If you still wish to use them, you can import them explicitly from `react-native` (until they are removed) or from their individual forked packages.
+For more information, refer to [this page](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2019/03/12/releasing-react-native-059#lean-core-is-underway).

+## Setting up a React Native project for Vue Native
+
+[Vue Native CLI](https://github.com/GeekyAnts/vue-native-cli) is the recommended way to setup a new Vue Native project. However, if you wish to setup a project from scratch, use the following steps after setting up a React Native / Expo project.
+
+### Step 1: Install
+
+The following packages are required as runtime dependencies by Vue Native:
+- [vue-native-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-native-core)
+- [vue-native-helper](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-native-helper)
+
+During development, another package is required to transpile Vue Native component files (with `.vue` extensions) into JS:
+- [vue-native-scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-native-scripts)
+
+To install them, run the following commands in your project directory
+```
+$ npm install --save vue-native-core vue-native-helper
+$ npm install --save-dev vue-native-scripts
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure the React Native bundler
+
+The Metro bundler is used by React Native to generate app bundles. It can be configured using a `metro.config.js` file. Add the following to your `metro.config.js` (make one to your project's root if you don't have one already):
+
+```js
+const { getDefaultConfig } = require("metro-config");
+
+module.exports = (async () => {
+  const {
+    resolver: { sourceExts }
+  } = await getDefaultConfig();
+  return {
+    transformer: {
+      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("./vueTransformerPlugin.js"),
+      getTransformOptions: async () => ({
+        transform: {
+          experimentalImportSupport: false,
+          inlineRequires: false,
+        },
+      })
+    },
+    resolver: {
+      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, "vue"]
+    }
+  };
+})();
+```
+
+The `babelTransformPath` property above takes the path to the transformer you wish to use. In our case, we need to create a `vueTransformerPlugin.js` file to the project's root and specify supported extensions:
+
+```js
+// For React Native version 0.59 or later
+var upstreamTransformer = require("metro-react-native-babel-transformer");
+
+// You will need to use different transformers for different React Native versions
+// However, versions older than v0.59 are no longer supported by Vue Native
+
+// For React Native version 0.56 - 0.58
+// var upstreamTransformer = require("metro/src/reactNativeTransformer");
+
+// For React Native version 0.52 - 0.55
+// var upstreamTransformer = require("metro/src/transformer");
+
+// For React Native version 0.47 - 0.51
+// var upstreamTransformer = require("metro-bundler/src/transformer");
+
+// For React Native version 0.46
+// var upstreamTransformer = require("metro-bundler/build/transformer");
+
+var vueNaiveScripts = require("vue-native-scripts");
+var vueExtensions = ["vue"]; // <-- Add other extensions if needed.
+
+module.exports.transform = function({ src, filename, options }) {
+  if (vueExtensions.some(ext => filename.endsWith("." + ext))) {
+    return vueNaiveScripts.transform({ src, filename, options });
+  }
+  return upstreamTransformer.transform({ src, filename, options });
+};
+```
+
+This file conditionally transforms files based on their extensions. `vue-native-scripts` is used for `.vue` files, while the stock React Native Babel transformer is used for other (JS) files.
+
+## Using Vue Native components and `.vue` files
+
+In the React Native application, you can simply `import` your Vue components as follows
+
+```
+import VueComponent from './VueComponent.vue'
+```
+
+There should be a file named `VueComponent.vue` in the corresponding folder; the transformer parses this file and sends it to the React Native bundler.
